2. Klíčové vlastnosti

  • Hybrid Time Correction: Receives standard radio waves (JJY) for automatic time adjustment. If radio wave reception is poor, it can synchronize time with a smartphone via a dedicated app.
  • Multi-Clock Synchronization: Utilizes Bluetooth to synchronize time between multiple 'Nextime' clocks, ensuring consistent time across different units.
  • Integrated Displays: Features an LCD display for temperature, humidity, and a full auto calendar until 2099.
  • Uživatelsky přívětivý design: Includes a contrast adjustment function for the digital display (5 levels) and a sweep second hand for silent operation.
  • Řízení spotřeby: Equipped with a low battery warning and a sleep second hand function that stops the second hand at 12 o'clock in low light conditions to conserve power and improve radio wave reception.

4. Nastavení

4.1. Úvahy o umístění

For optimal radio wave reception, place the clock near a window or in an area free from electromagnetic interference. Avoid locations near high-voltage lines, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, or metal furniture. If using multiple clocks, ensure the 'parent' unit is in a location with good reception.

When using multiple clocks, if they are on different floors, it is recommended to set up a 'parent' unit on each floor. For clocks on the same floor, ensure they are within approximately 30 meters of the 'parent' unit.

4.2. Initial Setup (Parent Unit)

The Seiko ZS250S offers two modes for time synchronization: Mode A (JJY Radio Wave) and Mode B (Smartphone App). You must first set up one clock as the 'parent' unit.

  1. Vložte baterie: Open the battery compartment on the back of the clock and insert 6 AA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
  2. Vyberte režim: On the back of the clock, locate the switch labeled "JJY / APP". Choose your preferred synchronization method.

Mode A: JJY Radio Wave Synchronization

This mode uses standard radio waves for automatic time correction. This is the default and recommended method if reception is good.

  1. Set the switch on the back of the clock to "JJY".
  2. Stiskněte tlačítko RESETOVAT button using a thin object (e.g., a pen tip). The clock hands will start moving, and the digital display will show a reception mark.
  3. Wait for the clock to receive the radio signal. This may take several minutes. The reception strength will be indicated on the digital display (5 levels). Once reception is complete, the hands will adjust to the correct time, and the current date will be displayed.

Mode B: Smartphone App Synchronization

If radio wave reception is consistently poor (e.g., in reinforced concrete buildings or basements), you can use a dedicated smartphone app to synchronize the time.

  1. Set the switch on the back of the clock to "APP".
  2. Stiskněte tlačítko RESETOVAT button using a thin object. The clock hands will start moving, and the digital display will show a reception mark.
  3. Download the dedicated app "Clock Sync App Blue" from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play (for Android).
  4. Launch the app on your smartphone and follow the on-screen instructions to pair with your clock. The app will synchronize the time with your clock.

For a visual guide on the setup process, please refer to the official setup video below:

Video 1: Seiko Nextime Quick Setup Manual. This video demonstrates both JJY radio wave and smartphone app synchronization methods for the parent unit, as well as child unit setup.

4.3. Child Unit Setup (for multiple clocks)

Once the 'parent' unit is successfully set up and displaying the correct time, you can set up additional 'child' units to synchronize with it via Bluetooth. The 'child' units will receive time data from the 'parent' unit.

  1. For each 'child' unit, insert batteries.
  2. Set the switch on the back of the 'child' unit to "子機" (Child Unit).
  3. Stiskněte tlačítko RESETOVAT button on the 'child' unit. The clock hands will start moving, and the digital display will show a reception mark.
  4. Ensure the 'parent' unit is powered on and within approximately 30 meters (line of sight) of the 'child' unit. The 'child' unit will automatically receive time data from the 'parent' unit.
  5. Once synchronization is complete, the 'child' unit will display the correct time and date.

The setup process for child units is demonstrated in the official setup video (Video 1) from timestamp 1:33 až 2:39.

5. Návod k obsluze

5.1. Zobrazení času

The clock features traditional analog hands for displaying the current time. The sweep second hand moves continuously for silent operation.

5.2 Funkce digitálního displeje

The integrated LCD display provides additional useful information:

  • Date and Day of Week: Displays the current date and day of the week, automatically updated via time synchronization.
  • Teplota: Shows the ambient temperature in Celsius. Measurement range: 0℃ to +40℃ (Accuracy: ±2℃).
  • Vlhkost: Displays the ambient relative humidity. Measurement range: 20%RH to 90%RH at 25℃ (Accuracy: ±8%).

5.3. Nastavení kontrastu

The digital display's contrast can be adjusted in 5 levels to suit different lighting conditions. Use the UP a DOLŮ buttons on the back of the clock to change the contrast.

5.4. Sleep Second Hand

The clock features a light sensor. In low light conditions, the second hand will automatically stop at the 12 o'clock position. This function helps conserve battery life and can improve radio wave reception by reducing internal noise.

5.5. Varování před vybitou baterií

When the batteries are running low, the clock will provide a warning. For analog models, the second hand may stop at the 12 o'clock position. For digital models, a battery low mark will appear on the LCD screen. Replace all batteries promptly when this warning appears.

6. Údržba

6.1. Čištění

Wipe the clock's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, abrasive cloths, or solvents, as these may damage the finish.

6.2. Výměna baterie

When the low battery warning appears, replace all 6 AA alkaline batteries with new ones. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the new batteries. After replacing batteries, the clock will attempt to re-synchronize the time.

7. Řešení problémů

If you encounter issues with your Seiko ZS250S clock, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblémMožná příčinaŘešení
Clock does not display correct time.Poor radio wave reception. Incorrect mode selection.Move the clock to a location with better radio wave reception (e.g., near a window). Ensure the mode switch is set to "JJY" for radio wave or "APP" for smartphone sync. If using "APP" mode, ensure the app is running and paired. Press the RESET button after moving or changing settings.
Digital display is dim or unreadable.Low battery. Incorrect contrast setting.Replace all batteries. Adjust the contrast using the UP/DOWN buttons on the back of the clock.
Second hand stops at 12 o'clock during the day.Sleep second hand function activated by low light. Low battery.Ensure the clock is in a well-lit area. If the issue persists, replace all batteries.
Smartphone app fails to synchronize.Bluetooth not enabled. App not running. Clock not in "APP" mode. Interference.Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Open the "Clock Sync App Blue" and ensure it's running. Verify the clock's mode switch is set to "APP". Reduce interference by moving away from other electronic devices.
Údaje o teplotě/vlhkosti se zdají být nepřesné.Extreme environmental conditions. Sensor obstruction.Ensure the clock is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or extreme temperatures. Keep the sensor area on the clock clear. Note that temperature/humidity data is not synchronized between clocks.

If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact Seiko customer support.
